Fig. 1.

Dynamics of F-actin polymerization. A Snapshots of the system at three different simulation times, corresponding to the three regimes: nucleation, polymerization, and equilibrium/reorganization. B Number of filaments forming as a function of time during the three regimes. The three lines correspond to three independent runs of the model. C Percentage of the nodes in the network occupied by actin molecules as a function of time during the three phases. The three lines correspond to three independent runs of the model. D Probability size distribution of F-actin for the three different phases, measured in terms of monomer units. Histograms correspond to three time points of the same numerical realization of the model
